TESTIMONIALS


"Thank you for the single most important and fun trip of my life..."
-MCR participant

"I can't tell you how much I admire the choices you have offered: climbing mountains, seeing volcanoes, swimming, waterfalls, Spanish lessons with local people, visiting local families, dancing, cooking, sightseeing, learning about the culture and especially Mayan history.  Well, I have never known of such a well-planned, varied, and irresistible trip."
-Grandmother of a participant


"You took our 'little boy,' taught, fed, led, followed, watched, encouraged, listened, guided and cared for him in a way that he could blossom and grow and become a man—as corny as that sounds. I am so proud of him, I could cry!"
-Mother of a participant

 
"Thank you for always being there for me and supporting me in everything. You are two of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life and I have matured so much and grown so much just by knowing you. I look up to both of you so much and you are my heroes.  THANK YOU!  I believe in MCR and everything it stands for.  I'm the better for it."
-MCR participant

"[The MCR student I worked with] is intelligent, thoughtful, professional, helpful and enthusiastic.  I was constantly impressed by her as she was significantly more mature than her age.  She is a delight to work with and will be excellent in whatever she chooses to do."
-Partner community service organization


"Thank you so much for having the confidence in us to host your students.  We are so grateful for the happiness they bring us.  We hope you will always come back."
-Mayan home-stay mother (translated from Tzu'tujil)


"One of the things that I treasure the most is meeting people like you.  It is one of the biggest opportunities that the school offers me."
-Administrative Director, partner language school


"My whole life I have always felt like 'I am too young to do that.'  Finally, I learned that you can never be too young to achieve... I was just recently thinking about how much it means to do volunteer work when you are able to actually connect with the people instead of just coming in as another foreigner to volunteer for a few days.  I also want to thank you guys again for the crazy experiences! I was just telling a little four-year old boy I babysit that I swam with sharks! Hahaha, great accomplishment!"
